There is a fundamental problem with this. The process needs to be
associated with the cgroup before any sockets get created. Sockets
are often created right after the application starts. This means that
the only viable option is to start each application in a wrapper which
assigns itself to the cgroup and then forks the application as its
child. If a task is associated with a cgroup after it has started it
may lead to unpredictable outcome because only some of the sockets
may end up being classified.

This was the actual reason for the old method.
